Clifton, New Brunswick (2013)

During my vacation, I made a day trip to Clifton, in northern New Brunswick. I've been to that location last year and made some interesting finds, including some nice ferns. This trip wasn't as fruitful as I had hoped, but I managed to take photos of the numerous trees in situ (surprised by the number present) and the drive in itself was nice.

Always be mindful of the tides when you venture down these beaches as you could get trapped with not many ways out.

Getting my stuff together

Where most of the trees are found

Tree #1 - Bottom section (walking stick for scale, 1 meter long)

Tree #2 - Tree with roots going through various layers

What would have been 'Tree #5'

One of the very few plants I've come across (sparse this year)

Tree #6 with broken section on the beach

It ended up to be a great day to be on the beach. The morning was gloomy but by the time I was done, the Sun had come out and I ended up enjoying the walk. I'll probably make this a yearly trek to see how the bay shapes the cliffs of Clifton and what could potentially come out.
